“…Culpable negligence means recklessly acting without reasonable caution and putting another person at risk of injury or death (or failing to do something with the same consequences)…” [1]

“….It is clear that workplace injuries have significant crossover effects on Social Security Disability Insurance, Medicare, and other programs. While further study will be needed to expose the specific effects of changes in workers’ compensation laws, evidence suggests that the costs of workplace injuries are being shifted not only to injured workers and their families, but also to federal programs….”

AIG is not alone, nor are the actions unusual. Watch the video and see how they apparently arrived at admission.

Right of AIG to admit mishandling…..that is the way to resolution….contrary to industry propaganda that suggests the GladGame by such injured workers should suffice to keep everybody quiet and the profits and year end bonuses flowing to industry workers at all levels. Can you believe some of those industry bloggers? D’oh! UB!

A Church-friend sent the above link with a note about this typical carrier conduct and abuse of catastrophically injured Workers in California and beyond:

“It looked like he [Keith More] started to get the ball rolling for that poor guy [Ramon Contreras] . Gives some hope that there is someone out there that cares”

How many #injuredworkers in California can’t find legal representation to fight such atrocities? ? #CulpableNegligence?

BRAVO also to Randy Mac and Philip Drechsler NBC News

If you know an attorney willing to help such injured workers who have been poorly represented by prior counsel & who are now unrepresented —please contact me

We will put you in touch directly with the workers unable to find legal representation.

If I could wave a magic wand & change anything about #WorkersCompensation I would ensure immediate reasonable & appropriate medical care & benefits & incite mediation with intention to settle and abolish litigation and the litigators.

ASK ANY INJURED WORKER FAILED BY THE SYSTEM WHERE THE CULPABLE NEGLIGENCE SEEMS TO LIE. JUST ASK ANY INJURED WORKERS.

Culpable negligence means recklessly acting without reasonable caution and putting another person at risk of injury or death (or failing to do something with the same consequences).

It is the omission to do something which a reasonable, prudent and honest man would do, or the doing something which such a man would not do under all the circumstances surrounding each particular case. [State v. Emery, 78 Mo. 77, 80 (Mo. 1883)]

“The term culpable negligence should be construed to mean a negligence of a higher degree than that which in civil cases is held to be gross negligence, and must be a negligence of a degree so gross as to be tantamount to a wanton disregard of, or utter indifference to, the safety of human life.” [Smith v. State, 197 Miss. 802 (Miss. 1945)]
